Is there any way to delay the WAN reconnect?
We're running 1.3b4 on a Soekris 4521, behind the ISP provided DSL
modem (an ancient Westel). They've got us on a dynamic IP using
PPPoE. It's been great for a year or so, unless the telco has
trouble and lets the connection drop. In that case, it appears that
the m0n0wall box is trying to reconnect too quickly. I've had it sit
all weekend long, reconnecting over and over again. If I power off
the DSL modem or unplug the phone line for a minute or so, the next
reconnect works and we're good for a few more weeks.
Thoughts?
Here's a piece of the logfile showing the retries:
